music meme thingie

from beth:

Step 1: Put your MP3 player or whatever on random.
Step 2: Post the first line from the first 20 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing the song.
Step 3: Post and let everyone you know guess what song and artist the lines come from.

1. i can't imagine all the people that you know and the places that you go
2. i can't believe i could've been so blind but love is strange
3. i need to be myself i can be no one else
4. when i wake up well i know what i'm gonna be
5. she left dallas for california with an old friend at her side
6. somewhere over the rainbow way up high
7. and there i stood just like a soldier i was tough until i saw her
8. everything is open nothing is set in stone
9. when i'm standing next to you there's a song that sings i know everything's feeling right
10. met you a week ago today how the time flies when i'm by your side
11. scots wha hae wi wallace bled scots wham bruce has aften led
12. i'll always remember it was late afternoon

15. must it take a life for hateful eyes to glisten once again
16. childhood living is easy to do
17. my life is brilliant my love is pure i saw an angel of that i'm sure
18. he was a boy she was a girl can i make it any more obvious
19. you need coolin' baby i'm not foolin'
20. calling the shots from time to time i though i could make it but maybe i was wrong

a couple hints:
one (unofficial) national anthem
two songs share a title
three covers
four scots (i've been on a scottish kick lately)
five (at least) artists are younger than me

i don't have that many songs on my itunes since i mostly listen to cds (cds? what are those?), but i do have my entire oasis collection on there, so i had to filter out most of the oasis songs, otherwise they'd make up half the list. :-)

have fun.
